A GREAT "GERMAN SUCCESS.'
A "GERMAN SUCCESS" is tho designation of the Ger
J- -man retreat along the French front by the inspired
Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin. AVe are soberly told that it
demonstrates the "power of Aon liindenburg's personal
ity" and is a tribute to his "grand style of initiative"
which gives "joy to every German heart."
Why then is Berlin not celebrating this victory of im-
puuueruuie genius as oilier victories have been celebrat
ed? At least a few more nails ought to be driven into the
wooden statue of Germany's white haired boy to com
memorate such a stupendous success, and a few more iron
crosses awarded the destroyers of shade trees and libra
ries along Avith those bestowed for sinking unarmed
a-iuiurivuii snips.
There is another cause for oolebriifinn owln tlm no
terly strategical victory won by the Turks when the Brit
ish captured Bagdad and the Russians Kermanshan. Per
haps the celebration is delayed to await the impending
.uymiv vx uuruaaium uy me urrcisn anu an these victories
win ue celebrated together by the blonde supermen.
i ne truth ot the matter, so artistically colored, is that
the German retreat was forced by the complete destruc
tion of their lines by the artillery of their enemies, and the
absence of physical conditions making another line of de
fense possible until the hilly country further east was
readied. It is an indication that at last the allied forces
nave superiority in artillery, munitions and men.
The Teutonc withdrawal is the first sign of real dis
tress displayed by the Germans. They are forced to short
en tneir lines because ot a shortaire of men. Tim wr r.F
attrition has thinned their ranks and there are no more re
serves to take the place of the slaughtered. The prepon
derance of artillery has passed to the allies. The blockade
has cut down the manufacture of munitions in Germany
by cutting oil the essentials.
If the Russians are able to accomrilisli results in tim,,.
expected summer campaign, the lines on the east must also
be materially shortened. German vetmnts
the order of the day thus carrying out belatedly the scheme
proposed by Falkenhayn last autumn. Yet Palkenhayil was
rewarded for his suggestion by retirement and Von Hin
denburg lauded as victor for belatedly carrying out his
predecessors plans.
The German retreat is the same kind of victory that
the Russian's "masterly strategical i-eh-nut" a
same kind that the initial German retreat from Paris' was
the same brand of success that crowned the Crown
Prince's long battle of Verdun.
Jiut while German hearts may dutifully ring with joy
is they are told to by the kaiser's newspaper organ, there
s no doubt at all about the jubliation of the British and
trench. For nearly three vcars tliov luivo fmio-ii -!,
battle without success and for the first
spired with the glow of victory. German prestitre of suc
cess has been shattered and the hitherto invincible Ger
man ranks have been forced to flee. The psychological
effect upon all belligcrants aiigurs ill for German victory
